Perception is the name of this ballad that I composed at the age of 17.

The song counts 11 measures, and for this reason being odd is already in itself unusual, but beyond that it also has a fascinating melancholic melody and an interesting harmony.

The title “Perception” arises from what has been “perceived” by listening to jazz as a teenager, when I was still without advanced harmonic knowledge, we could therefore say that the term is synonymous with “instinctive”.

Above you can find a video of my interpretation played by the piano in a trio with double bass and drums.They are only 3 chorus: theme, solo, theme.
